    Delkin USB3 Card reader & card compatability?

    Hi all, after taking delivery of my 2nd of the above readers (1st one kept appearing & disappearing from my PC) I can get it to read all bar one of my cards. It's fine with the Sandisk (older) Ultra II 15MB/s 4GB CF card and Extreme III 30MB/s 2GB & 4GB CF cards but doesn't want to know the...

    Canon G12 & Swarovksi DCA combo

    Has anyone successfully used the Canon G12 with the Canon filter thread adapter (FA-DC58B) and the Swarovski DCA adapter? I hear rumours that it is not possible but as yet have not found out why. Many thanks for any info. Dave.

    I only see a Glauc.... (UK)

    Unless I've not seen a white-winged gull for far too long, I guess it's probably just a typo on Hughie's part on Surfbirds... http://www.surfbirds.com/cgi-bin/gallery/display.cgi?gallery=gallery12 scroll down beyond halfway. Size, tertial step (1st pic especially), bill pattern and overall...

    Probable Buzzard - UK. Any other suggestions?

    Hi all, with Buzzards up well today, a SEO we flushed from a hedge in the paddocks and a Red Kite over the house earlier, I've been keeping an eye on the skies. Attached are 2 images of something I shot about half an hour ago. It's probably just a Buzzard but there was just something about it...

    Anyone used the 7dayshop version of the Canon LP-E4?

    Hi all, question as above, and if so, will the genuine Canon charger charge it OK? I'm not bothered about the calibration feature, just that £12.99 is much easier to swallow than £120 for a spare. I know they are good for a couple of thousand shots but givn the size of the charger, a cheap...

    Suitable Canon EF mount equivalent (or similar) of 17-85 EF-S

    Hi all, I've currently got a Canon 17-85 IS lens which an EF-S fit which is not compatible with the new toy (1D) and I probably can't be bothered to take the 20D with me whenever I may need a smaller zoom apart from as a spare body 'just in case'. Does anyone have any suggestions for a...

    7D vs 1D III - potential upgrade - opinions requested

    Hi All, a query for those of you who have or have used BOTH the Canon 1D III and the 7D. I currently use a 40D and am considering a potential upgrade to one of the above cameras (similar sort of outlay for 7D+grip and secondhand 1D III) based on a wish to have better overall low light...

    Reducing image size & retaining image quality??

    I may well be asking the impossible here, but does anyone have any recommendations for software (outside of Photoshop or the Lightroom trial I've got going) for resizing an image from an original down to a 600x400 image and a 200x133 thumbnail and still retaining quality with file sizes of...

    Spyder2Express - any users?

    Hi all, just coming to the end of my tether trying to solve the very faint purplish cast and slightly darker-than-on-my-screen appearance over my prints out of the Canon iP4300 (with Canon PP201 paper and Canon inks). While I can't afford the top end Spyders, does anyone have experience of...

    50D battery grip fps claim...

    Hi all, just trying to get to the bottom of something I read on Warehouse Express's site regarding the fact that the 50D's fps rate increases from 6.3 to 8 when you add the battery grip. Despite searching I can't find ANYTHING anywhere else on the 'net to substantiate this and as the potential...

    Minox DCM - not strictly binos...!

    Just posted a general report and images from a DCM used on a Kowa TSN3 is Cornwall a week or so ago on the Newpro website. Click here for link then click on the DCM image link & follow the obvious link on the DCM page. OK, I wrote it, but it's been written from an honest point of view having...
